I would like to thank the people who mailed me privately about responsible ferret breeders in Michigan. I got a lot of people who told me to adopt though. While I agree adopting is a good thing, I've never bred an animal (or a person) in my life, I've never given up an animal, and I've taken in many ferrets over the years (as well as my current dog and two of my three cats). I don't see a problem with finding a responsible breeder and getting to pick out a ferret. I don't want this to sound inflamatory, I just feel like I'm being told I have to justify myself. becki kain [Posted in FML issue 3509]
